Can see why Smith is highly rated at Norwich - broke it up, kept it simple and qulaity pass forWiseman's goal (reight finish as well). Tonge showed his quality in bits as well
-
First half, the introduction of Smith and Tonge in midfield looked to be a revelation, Matty Done made some good runs inside and Smith played him in, fantastic first goal. Same combo for the penalty, and for the third, Scott Wiseman made a brilliant run forward to be found in space by Smith again.
-
Excellent debut by Korey Smith
-
Gerrim signed up Keef.
-
Both (Smith and Tonge) had excellent 1st halves. Both more than capable at this level.

Official site report:
Korey Smith, celebrating his 21st birthday with an accomplished display.
the unit showed no signs of breaking as the opening period was a display of desire and class as Tonge and Smith anchored a solid midfield - the latter playing his part with some incredible through-balls.
The new loanee Smith might not have featured in the Premier League this season, but he was showing Premier League quality - keeping a cool head on the ball and dishing out the passes.
